Thanks, blam!!

They didn't need to have crossed on a land bridge during the Ice Age. They can still walk across any year on the ice. Some hunters go way out on the cap, and did so even before the iron dog.

How do they date rock tools? These rocks look exactly like the ones we find on the shore here in WA state, that were mostly used to open clam shells and other basic subsistance work of the local Indians. The problem is that they were probably still using some of them in the early twentieth century.

We have one that my daughter found that looks like a petrified hot dog. It is perfectly smooth, cylindrical, with rounded ends, black stone, but unusually light weight. The only thing that we can figure is that it was some kind of sharpening stone or flint for starting fires.

Another really good article. The evidence for at least three "waves" coming to the American continents increases. The timing of the groups is at best weak but seems to indicate very early movement from Southeast Asia as the shelf there flooded between 15,000 and 8,000 and movement from Europe at about the same time, folowed by a larger movement across the land bridge and accounting for the majority populations. DNA should help -- sounds possible from Spirit Cave. Southeast Asian genetic markers have been found in Japan, Korea, China, Turkey. Kuwait, and the Czech Republic but not with American Indians. It would be interesting to see the results from Spirit Cave, the Tip of Baja and Tierra Del Fuego. The populations in those places may not match American Indians either?

People in North America were voyaging by sea some 8,000 years ago, boosting a theory that some of the continent's first settlers arrived there by boat.

These first settlers were 100% homosexual and ended up in the San Francisco area. Which is why they left no descendants.

Hmmm. I found 3 very similar rocks (tools) in Tennessee.
I didnt know what they were but knew that chances were that they were not just rocks (naturally formed).
I still have them.
Interesting
